"Call Me Mister": Free Tuition for Black Teachers
   
Do you know any Black males who are seniors in high school and who want to go to college out of state for FREE? Several Black colleges are looking for future Black male teachers and will send them to universities/colleges for four years FREE.

The "Call Me MISTER" program is an effort to address the critical shortage of African-American male teachers particularly among South Carolina's lowest-performing public schools. Program participants are selected from among under-served, socio-economically disadvantaged, and educationally at-risk communities.

The program is a collaboration between Clemson University and four historically Black colleges in South Carolina: Benedict College, Claflin University, Morris College, and South Carolina State University.

The project provides:
  • Tuition for admitted students pursuing approved programs of study at participating colleges.
  • An academic support system to help assure student success.
  • A cohort system for social and cultural support.
